B4_Maniac Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I just noticed..when you pull the handbreak up on the new leg..the daytime running lamps cut off. Just a neat little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 The same feature was on the MY00 BH Legacy L Wagon my dad owns, so it's not a new thing to Subaru at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antelope Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Ouch! I'm planning on trading in my MY00 Legacy Brighton Wagon! I'm only(?) 35 and I feel like I'm 55! I guess this is why I'm looking at the GT... For the record, SUBE is correct (despite his tender years). :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Zevil Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Yeah, same thing happens on my 02 WRX. Subaru is known for not packing it's cars full of gadgets, but adding actual USEFUL things that are well thought out. Although I am not a fan of DRL's anyway.

GBY Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Lets pull this thread back into the realms of usefullness :idea: I believe the reason the handbrake controls the DRL's is to preserve bulb life, if they came on with the ignition then the bulbs would be getting a nasty voltage/current fluctuation when you start the car - flickering....

Drift Monkey Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I really could care less about DRLs. The reason we even have them is because of Canada. I for one, am going to disable mine as soon as I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very good idea. I don't know what the life is on the Subaru bulbs, but I had my 01 Leg for 3 years and they never blew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Volvo V40 I had needed new bulbs every 12 months (full power DRL's and no handbrake on/off feature). :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothonotus Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 OT kinda... you might notice most Tahoe/Suburban/Yukons with a DRL out has it out on the drivers side... mine has gone out twice on that side in 4 yrs. However, the passenger side has never been replaced... hmm. I've noticed driving around that this seems to be the norm, say 5 drivers side to every 1 passenger side. No idea why.

Jason L Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 That feature has been around for a long time. The cheap '96 Saturn SL2 that I bought in college did the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapimp Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Darn, someone beat me too it. That has been standard operating procedure for Cars in Canada forever. I've never been in a car with DRL that didn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPTChaplin Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 This is my first vehicle with Day Time Running Lights. I have always driven with my lights manually turned on for improved visibility and safety. Also, I think that cars with High Power Fog Lamps just look cool when they are approaching you on the road with all the lights going (day or night). Can someone let me know what the DRL look like? Does it include the Fog Lamps? Can you turn on the Fog Lamps Only? Thanks. J.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
